Extracting Wisdom Teeth

Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?


Why Remove Wisdom Teeth As A Young Adult?

By removing wisdom teeth when a patient is a young adult, our doctors are able to prevent potential healing problems. When a person reaches the age of their mid-thirties there are much higher risks for wisdom teeth removal. The best time to remove wisdom teeth is generally between the ages of fifteen to eighteen years of age.

If you are an adult and need to remove your wisdom teeth, don’t worry. Here at Smiles By Design we take extra care to make sure that our adult patients are comfortable and anxiety-free. After a consultation, we will recommend that you continue with your wisdom teeth until intervention is absolutely necessary. When it is necessary to remove your wisdom teeth our doctors will recommend a simple and pain-free surgery. Your health is our highest concern. In certain cases, Dr. Axvig or Dr. Dwyer will refer you to Endodontist specialist if necessary.

We see patients on a regular basis to remove wisdom teeth. This is a common procedure at Smiles By Design. If you are interested in having a consultation please give us a call at 701-223-5500 or email us.
